The Age of Perfidy

Trump joking about deep sea fishing during a speech in Iowa referencing Caribbean boat strikes by the US Navy might be perfidy, while the actual act is simply murder.

A New York Times report suggested that a September US strike against a boat in the Caribbean may have been an act of "perfidy." Legal experts weigh in.

The US Department of Defense Law of War manual defines perfidy as “acts that invite the confidence of enemy persons to lead them to believe that they are entitled to, or are obliged to accord, protection under the law of war, with intent to betray that confidence.” International humanitarian law prohibits killing, injuring or capturing an adversary through perfidy.

“What happened in reality is that the US military was ordered to carry out extrajudicial killings, also known as murders, and they did so,” Tess Bridgeman says. “The laws of war did not apply because we were not in an armed conflict, so at the end of the day, there’s no perfidy.”

Gary Solis agreed: “It’s sometimes difficult for civilians to accept that this is just outright murder,” he adds. “Well, it is outright murder.”

Similarly, as a matter of Trump’s pathological bad faith, this Trump posting could be perfidy, since anyone viewing the video knows the killing of Alex Pretti was murder.

The Epstein cover-up is also a kind of perfidy if we think of the survivors.

Release all the Epstein files.

"Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned."

“.. In a blistering opinion, Judge Fred Biery .. condemned ‘the perfidious lust for unbridled power’ and ‘the imposition of cruelty.’”
